Germans in Jamaica - War, Spies and Camps

As countless other stories begin, this one begins with Hitler's rise to power on January 30, 1933. Very few nations, if any at all, were not affected by the consequences of Hitler's insane actions. Hitler had correctly prophesized that those against him would never be happy, even if they fled to the "end" of the world. Though this story does not take us to the end of the world, it brings us close. Of all the hundred thousand Germans who either fled Germany or those who were working or living abroad after 1933, a few thousand found refuge in various internment camps on the island of Jamaica.
This documentary describes how Jamaica became a safe haven for those Germans, either living on the Island, or those rounded up by the British in West Africa, or captured on the high seas while tracing the lives of 4 families who survived the transfer from Africa and detailing their daily lives during internment in Jamaica from 1939 - 1946.
